re: Alabama is the best team in the nation

They are the best or at least the second best. Reminds me of all those years USC fell short of playing in the national championship during Pete Carroll's run. I thought they were the best team in the country in 2002, 2003 and 2006 and at least the second best team in the country in 2008 but they didn't play in the national championship game in any of those years. I now understand how much frustration USC fans felt losing to inferior teams while watching teams they are better than playing in the national championship game.
